Paul
has always known he was a Protector, fated to serve a Speaker who could hear
the voices of spirits lingering after death and help those souls find peace.
Vivienne ignores the voices of the dead.
Paul has always followed the Protector’s rule book, preparing diligently for the day when he’d be matched with his Speaker and fulfill his destiny.

After meeting Vivienne, I’d been certain things couldn’t get worse. Man, oh, man, had I been wrong.
I
hated feeling out of control, and it was as if every ounce of control had been
sucked away the minute I met Vivienne.
If
nothing else, she was genuine…and prickly, harsh, obnoxious, and an overall
pain in the butt.
“Are
you okay, Vivienne?”
“Ghosts
suck.” Her fear spiked and zapped through me, causing my heart to pound.
Vivienne
was definitely my favorite part of this book. Getting to know her was well
worth picking up this book. Her attitude and tone throughout the entire book
was enough to put her on my “Favorite Character Shelf.” This type of heroine
was just what I was in the mood for. I know this may sound crazy, but I loved
that I had the picture on the front cover of this book to remind myself what
Vivienne was supposed to look like. She even looks awesome. I loved seeing her
interact with other characters, especially Paul. They were definitely polar
opposites, but still had enough in common to connect on a personal level.
Paul
had his awesome character traits as well, however. Vivienne brought out a side
of him that at first you think is impossible. He is a rule follower and always
wants to do what is right. When I said that he and Vivienne had enough in
common, I was referring to their back stories. Paul’s is unexpected and
definitely draws you closer to him while you are reading.
This
is a must read for anyone who loves supernatural novels!
